UPDATED RELEASE: 27 AUG 2019

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. [This mod will not work in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1.]

 

Description:
------------------

 

Were you ever dissatisfied with the low-resolution loading screens when the in-game footage looks so much better? What if there was a mod that took care of that for you? Psssst…it’s this mod!

 

This version of the mod covers the loading screens for the following mods: Azgath N'Dul's Tomb, Coruscant Jedi Temple, Curse of the Sith, Korriban Expansion, and the M4-78 Enhancement Project.   If you’re looking for the loading screens that cover the areas in the normal “vanilla” game and the areas added by TSLRCM, seek out the “Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Original Pack” which is also available on Deadly Stream. The texture size is 2048 by 2048 so you'll have a large sized picture for each.

Installation:
----------------

 

Drop the TGA files and loadscreen.2da into your Override folder. As M4-78 Enhancement Project includes its own TGA files, you’ll have to allow my TGAs to overwrite the TGAs already there in the Override folder.

 

Uninstall:
-------------

 

If for any reason, you don’t like one (or more) of the loading screens, consult the list above so you can determine which TGA file/s you will need to remove from your Override folder.

 

To completely remove the loading screens, delete all the above listed TGA files.

 

Recommendations for Coruscant TGA’s:
----------------------------------------------------------

 

This section won’t tell you how to install Coruscant Jedi Temple, or how fix compatibility issues with other mods. However, if you use the Jedi Temple Expansion (3.0) mod by HK-42, please install his mod first - before you put the relevant Coruscant TGAs from my mod in the Override. Allow the following files to overwrite the pre-existing ones: load_952cor.tga, load_953cor.tga, and load_954cor.tga.

@ndix UR for his wonderful Loading Screen Template which enabled me to offer these loading screens in a format resembling the original loading screens for you all.

 

Thanks to @DarthParametric, @JCarter426, @N-DReW25, and @Marius Fett for their input and technical expertise. If you want to have your War Droid utilize the textures from Sithspecter's High Quality blasters, be sure to use the fix for the model created by @DarthParametric which you can find here.

And thanks to YOU for giving this mod a chance! Won’t you leave feedback on the download page? (I'd like to see what I’ve done right, you see. That's not too needy, right?)

If you'd like a preview of all of the loading screens, check out this video below. It does show the screens without the filter and the black bars but it give you an idea what you'll be working with before you download. I recommend watching the video maximized.
